By the time this gets to you the language will be nonsense Words all lose their meaning by the time they leave the tongue Some songs ain't about making this whole world understand you Words just speak for moments like the light speaks for the sun The sky opened up, the sun came in The light made rainbows of our skin Our tongues got it on so beautiful With kisses like it was dutiful A love embrace that wouldn't last - some words just come too fast By the time this gets to you the language will be nonsense I ain't gonna sit here tryin' to make up some excuse Spend a hundred bucks on what you used to get for 10 cents Find yourself a tongue and put your head to better use I don't know what you said Hey tongue find a head Caught you askin' the grass, why it grows Heard you askin' the rose, why it rose What's to reason in all of our desires? We make only ashes with these fires But beautiful to watch them burn When will we all learn? By the time this gets to you the language will be nonsense Words all lose their meaning by the time they leave the tongue Some songs ain't about making this whole world understand you Words just speak for moments like the light speaks for the sun If light could find my tongue I'd fill you up with words Sweetest lines you ever heard Sunshine today Sunshine today Sunshine today Sunshine today Sunshine today Sunshine today So much is thieved and so much broken Where are the words that take two tongues to be spoken Where are the words that can't be repeated Tired of those people all talking night Trying to give up on yesterday's light World will do better when they all learn It's beautiful to watch it turn By the time this gets to you the language will be nonsense Words all lose their meaning by the time they leave the tongue Some songs ain't about making this whole world understand you Words just speak for moments like the light speaks for the sun Sunshine today Sunshine today Sunshine today Sunshine today Sunshine today Sunshine today
